Amazon is the go-to online shopping outlet for low prices and fast delivery times. Not all items are dirt cheap, but their rave reviews suggest that they are definitely worth the cost.
If you’re looking to splurge, here are the top expensive Amazon items worth buying.
iRobot Roomba 692 Robot Vacuum

The iRobot Roomba 692 is super simple to set up and use. With the iRobot HOME app, Alexa or Siri, you can create a custom cleaning schedule for the robot vacuum to clean up daily dirt, dust and debris. It also picks up pet hair, works on hardwood floors and has a battery life of 90 minutes. After cleaning, it returns to the home base to self-charge.
Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine

The Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine by Breville makes five cup sizes, ranging from 1.35 ounces up to 14 ounces. Just insert the capsule and close the lever to brew a cup of coffee or an espresso. Shoppers say its removable parts make it easy to clean and maintain, and there’s also a self-cleaning function that helps keep it hygienic.

The Echelon Smart Connect Fitness Bike is an affordable alternative to the Peloton. The bike comes in four different styles, with the EX-15 at the lower end of the price range. The bike comes with a tablet and phone holder, adjustable pedals and seating and 32 levels of magnetic resistance. It also comes with a free 30-day trial of the Echelon Premier Membership, which gives you full access to all on- and off-equipment workouts.
Dreo Tower Fan

The 42-inch Dreo Tower Fan is a quietly oscillating fan with six speeds and an LED display. The fan draws air from the back and sides and provides cooling up to 29.5 feet away. With over 25,000 reviews, shoppers say it’s a powerful fan and cools the room with ease. There’s also a remote and a timer setting.
Kindle Paperwhite
- Price: $150-$170
- Rating: 4.7 stars
Compared to its predecessors, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) has a larger display, adjustable warm light, increased battery life and faster page turns. If you don’t want lockscreen ads, the Paperwhite costs $170. However, some shoppers said the ads didn’t bother them. The Paperwhite has up to 10 weeks of battery life, but it may not last as long if you’re a daily reader.
Pureology Hydrate Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner Set
- Price: $74
- Rating: 4.7 stars
Paying almost $75 for shampoo and conditioner may seem a tad excessive, but shoppers swear by Pureology’s Hydrate Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner Set. The set helps soften and hydrate medium to thick color-treated hair. Shoppers say that while it’s pricey, it’s worth every penny. The shampoo and conditioner are also vegan and sulfate-free.
